Piano pieces like "Innocence" and "Dejection" form this man's opus 6 collection of bagatelles and impromptus, while his opus 4 and 5 Skizzen, or sketches, were also written for piano. He wrote both a symphonic poem and fanfares based on Shakespeare's Richard III, while the first of this composer's two string quartets is written in e minor and includes an Allegro moderato a la Polka second movement. That work, entitled (*) "From My Life," was written shortly after this man lost his hearing. This composer also wrote a cycle of six symphonic poems, the fourth of which, "From Bohemia's woods and fields," celebrates his nation's countryside, and the second of which begins with a flute solo and depicts the Vltava river, or "Die Moldau." For 10 points, name this Czech composer of Ma Vlast who also created the opera The Bartered Bride.
